Sprint Makes It Easier for Customers to Navigate the Internet, Find the Content They Want on Sprint Phones with Sprint Web

Available Now on 40+ Popular Sprint Phones, Sprint Web Features Adaptive Home Page Reflecting Each Customer's Usage, Plus Google(TM) Search of Open Internet

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Jul 28, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- As customers increasingly count on their wireless phones for
on-the-go Internet access, Sprint (NYSE:S) is making it easier for
them to get the content they want with today's launch of Sprint Web, a
next-generation mobile Web browsing experience on popular Sprint
phones. Sprint Web offers an adaptive home page that delivers content
based on the customer's previous usage, along with direct access to
search from Google Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG). This enhancement is automatic
for Sprint customers who currently access the mobile Web on these
phones and requires no additional action on their part.

"Sprint customers have always been able to access the Internet on
data-capable Sprint phones, and with Sprint Web we've made it even
easier for them to quickly find the information that they need," said
Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product and technology
development for Sprint. "Sprint Web automatically learns what content
the customer likes and puts it on their home page, along with Google
search of the full Internet. This allows Sprint customers to get the
most from the Internet on their phones even faster, when and where
they want to, with the Now Network(TM)."

The new Sprint Web home page uses technology by ChangingWorlds, a
global expert in mobile Internet personalization and content discovery
technologies, to provide each customer with dynamic, relevant content
and information as a result of their past usage. This makes each
customer's Sprint Web home page unique, depending on their interests.
For example, if a customer continually goes to sports links, the top
sports stories will be featured. This allows customers to quickly get
relevant information based on what they use most, making it easier to
navigate the Internet on their phones and reducing the time they spend
looking for content. To access Sprint Web, customers simply click the
Web icon on the main menu of their phone.

Sprint Web also gives customers direct access from the home page
to Google search, so users can get relevant open Internet results
quickly and easily, in a format they're used to seeing on their
computer screens. Google is now the default mobile search provider for
open Internet search on Sprint phones with Sprint Web. To access
Google search on these phones, customers simply click the Web icon on
the main menu of their phone and enter a term into the search box on
the new Sprint Web homepage.

Sprint Web is available today on 40+ popular Sprint phones,
including RAZR2 by Motorola, Centro by Palm, Rumor by LG, Upstage by
Samsung, and Katana DLX by Sanyo. Sprint plans to make Sprint Web
available on virtually all Web-capable Sprint feature phones over the
coming weeks. The introduction of Sprint Web follows Sprint's launch
earlier this year of a more PC-like open Internet browsing experience
on its phones, which provides more user-friendly renderings of
Internet sites, even those not optimized for mobile devices.

Sprint Web and Google search are available at no additional charge
to Sprint data subscribers, including customers subscribing to
Everything plans such as the $99 Simply Everything(SM) plan,
Talk/Message/Data Share plans and data packs. Standard data usage
charges apply for customers without a data subscription.

Sprint is committed to offering its customers an enhanced mobile
Internet experience, along with mobile content and applications, when,
where and how they want them:

Sprint has employed an open Internet approach since first
launching the Wireless Web on its phones in 2001.

Through relationships with third parties, dozens of non-Sprint
branded applications, games and other digital media operate on
the Sprint network.

Sprint will hold its eighth annual Application Developer
Conference later this year to provide third-party developers
with tools and resources for creating innovative products and
services for Sprint customers.

Sprint is a member of the Open Handset Alliance, along with
more than 30 other participating companies, to support the
free and open mobile applications platform named Android.
